Sunlit yoga studio with wood floor and plants near tall windows

Greenpoint, Brooklyn · Since 2017

Slow practice. Bright bodies.

A small studio on West Street. Two rooms, eight teachers, a wood floor that has heard a lot of breathing. Come once. See how you feel.

Begin

Our practice

A room. A teacher. An hour of quiet.

Hollow Sun was opened in 2017 in a converted dye-works on West Street. The original brick is still here. So are the long west-facing windows that, in spring, throw light across the floor for about twenty minutes before sunset. That hour is our favorite class of the week.

We teach a thoughtful, slow-moving practice. No mirrors. No music with words. No leaderboards. Our teachers learned in different lineages, but they share a habit of speaking quietly and watching closely. Beginners are welcome in every class on our schedule.

If you are returning to your body after a long time away, or just looking for a steadier hour in your week, come and try us. We are easy to find.

Vinyasa

Noor moves quickly and laughs often. Her flow classes are the ones to take when you want to leave the day on the floor and pick up something lighter on the way out.
